KAES Keenections Newsletter

With the unexpected loss of school days we had two weeks ago, KAES will need to have school on Friday April 3, 2026. This was listed as a possible weather makeup day on the calendar. This will be a half day (noon release). Please plan to have your child attend on April 3.

KAES is selling school hoodies in black, gray, and navy with the same image of the school shirt on the front. The back of the sweatshirt is blank. Image coming soon. You can order yours at this form link, or in the school office. ORDER HERE
